Moon Lists is a guided journal structured around the phases of the moon. It provides a place to note feelings of gratitude and moments of mindfulness while celebrating the turn of the seasons.

Loosely organized around the phases of the moon and punctuated with references to '70s astrology, architecture, and art, Moon Lists encourages journalers to stop and reflect on the precious moments in their lives before time passes them by.

A set of evolving monthly writing prompts and suggestions for physical activities can be completed individually or with a partner, and will offer readers some perspective on the present and their recent past.The Moon Lists are a set of questions to inspire reflection on the recent past. These questions, prompts, and lists are an exercise in drawing the connection between memory and experience, a reminder that daily choices matter, habits are defining, and objects can hold layers of significance.

The cycles of the moon have historically been regarded as a sort of compass for self-reflection; with the unending ebb from night to light, the moon acts as a routine reminder that we are guided by months and seasons, a system of order and natural rhythm that exist outside of ourselves. Traditionally and across cultures the phases of the moon are regarded with different types of meaning, from new beginnings to intention setting to times of surrendering acceptance.

As the moon cycles through its phases, you will be asked to check with yourself, once a week, to reflect on your recent experiences.
